32 final cut

This is our final cut for our media product.

31 first feedback

When receiving our first feedback I did film what people had said but unfortunately it was not the best quality and if I uploaded the video the words spoken can not be heard.

So today myself and my group presented our first cut of our film to the class, from all the feedback we had received it was all mainly positive with a few bits we could improve on to make our product better.

They said they liked the way our kitchen scene contrasted into the forest scene as it created a sense of suspense and it was not something they was expecting.

We was told we was making good progress with the editing side of our product and that we was putting the effects in the right place and it flowed really well.

However to enhance our product our class gave us some constructive criticism, they said wanted us to add sound tracks as at this point we was focusing on editing the effects. They also said that our kitchen scene dragged on a bit too long, because of this feedback we will consider cutting down the scene wherever we can and also add soundtracks when we find the right ones.

30 editing updates

All of these screen shots are showing our progress throughout the editing and making of our product.

These two images show our searching's trying to find different sound tracks to go in the background to our product. The first one shows a calm upbeat sound track which we included in the first bit of our film, we thought we should include this to bring a more upbeat realistic scene as there is nothing wrong at this point of the film.

The bottom photo shows a more scary sound track, this is to go with our more action packed scene of when the young girl finds her friend tied up against a tree.

The photo on the left is again showing us inserting multiple different sound tracks to match the scene chosen. As you can see we deleted and re added sound tracks to test what sounded better.

The photo on the right is showing us discovering the different effects within the programme, adding them into our scenes to see which would match as we did not want effects that would make our film not look right.

In my opinion I think the hardest thing to do when creating our product was the Idents, the reason for this is because there was loads of tiny little detail needed for everything with different effects and layering sound on top.

The photo on the right is us creating our title for our product, we did not want a big fancy title as that would not match the theme of our product.

At first we did include the title at the beginning of the film but we decided to put it at the end of our opening sequence as when we did our research we saw hardly any titles at the beginning of the film

The photo on the left is showing the different sound effects we could use in our product. At first we used a lot of sound effects but as we editing the film more we decided we did not need the effects as we wanted a more natural sounded film which meant not including sounds we did not need.

These posts on the right and the bottom of the page are showing us creating our sub titles with our names showing, with doing this we took ideas from different films and choose our effect for the titles very carefully.


With these titles at first we did include sound effects as they went across the page but as we started the include sound tracks we did not need the effects as i think they sounded out of place.

28 filming updates- Day 1/ Day 2

Day 1 of filming- So today we filmed scene one, I have got to admit it was a lot harder than we all thought, all the different angles and types of shots we had wrote down we had to make sure they were included although we did change a few.

We had to redo some shots to get them right and to make sure they weren't on an angle but it was interesting as this is the first time I had filmed a thriller.  

When we arrived at Alice's we got straight into filming, deciding on where we was filming within  the house, what props and sound we were having in the background. 

Day 2 

Day 2 was a lot harder than day 1 as we had to travel to the location we had decided to film at.

We started off by walking to our chosen location, which took us a while. When we looked around the location we noticed the tunnel we had wanted to film in wasn't accessible so we decided to film in the woods surrounding the tunnel which turned out to be a good idea. 

27 reflection on the filming process

Overall my reflection on filming our product was hard and stressful but it was a lot of fun it defiantly brought our group closer and helped us improve our filming skills but also how to improve on the roles we was given such as Alice producing the product, Anyia acting and myself filming the product.

25 Ident Ideas

24 comic master story board

So I decided I would try to use and create a comic master story board. Above is the story board I created, at first I was getting use to the website as it was my first time but once I knew how to use all the tools I created a shorter version of our original story board.

Here is my photographic story board showing our drawn story board in real life making it seem more realistic.
